Contractors are not employees.
- CydeWeys 9y agoYes, contractors are not full-time employees. So what? That's not at issue here. In this context, we're specifically talking about the number of jobs that are created by tech companies. It doesn't matter if you're paid on a W-2 or a 1099 from the tech company directly, or on a W-2 or a 1099 from some contracted company; if your living is being derived from working for that company in some capacity, it counts as a job created.
- ameister14 9y agoIn that case we're talking about a few million jobs because the parts manufacturers, service providers, all applications and application developers using the systems and many others. Fine with me, I was originally pointing out that the number was greater than the 150k the person I responded to was assuming.
